Under the intensifying constraints of resources and environment, reducing fertilizer use while enhancing efficiency in China’s grain production has become imperative. This study empirically analyzes effect agricultural technical services on reduction wheat using 2024 micro-survey data. Agricultural exert a significantly negative influence fertilization intensity among growers. In comparison with non-adopters, adopters achieve amounting to 8.351 kg/mu (equivalent 125.265 kg/ha) realize decrease chemical costs CNY 26.735/mu (or USD 56.625/ha). Additionally, from perspective service components heterogeneity, soil testing, formula fertilization, mechanical straw returning contribute reduction. From model if farmers participating market-oriented, cooperative, industrialized discontinue participation, their application would increase by 5.43%, 7.96%, 12.79%, respectively. Finally, this calls government further leverage technological dissemination advantages technology institutions, guide reduce fertilizers, so as accelerate realization more sustainable agriculture.

In this investigation, we analyze data from 929 tea farmers across Shanxi, Sichuan, and Anhui provinces to elucidate the impact of productive transactional agricultural social services on farmers’ adoption soil testing formula fertilization technology. Our perspective centers standpoint underpinning mechanisms these influences. findings delineate several key points: Both socialized exert a positive influence decisions adopt green production technologies, with being more pronounced than their counterparts. The enthusiasm scale for technologies among are positively impacted by both types services, conclusion robust even when potential endogeneity other statistical biases corrected using IV Probit. mechanism operates symbiotically, primarily fostering trust, enhancing price expectations industry cognition, driving evaluations, motivating speculative behavior farmers. Transactional socialization show varying propensities in promoting technology, depending type, endowments, income levels. Involvement enables bolster income, improve technical proficiency information-gathering capabilities, jointly participate market competition, reduce risks, enhance recognition choice technologies.

This study explores the residents' behavioral determinants of ecological conservation in rural tourism development, focusing on resident participation to promote sustainable development industry. By integrating Theory Planned Behavior (TPB) and Norm Activation Model (NAM), it examines roles subjective norm, responsibility attribution, environmental risk perception, human capital shaping behavior. Based data from 331 valid responses collected through a questionnaire survey, structural equation model (SEM) was performed using SPSS AMOS analyze The findings reveal that norm attribution significantly enhance protection intention, which subsequently boosts relationship between behavior is mediated by while perception positively moderates norm-behavior relationship. Additionally, intention-behavior Significant differences were found based gender age, with men women, as well different age groups, responding uniquely intention perception.

Improving farmers’ fertilization behavior through technical training is conducive to reducing agricultural non-point source pollution and maintaining soil health. The existing studies mainly discuss the impact of on adoption testing formula (STFF) from perspective judging effect, but there are few further answers how improve effect training. Based theory planned transfer, this study adopted a logit model OLS explore role in STFF, as well moderation personalized information support. An empirical test was carried out using survey data farmers Zhejiang Province, China. results showed that participating beneficial for adopting receiving support can strengthen promotion STFF. Further analysis reveals certain differences above relationships among with different operating scales. findings could facilitate deeper understanding improvement performance accumulation rural human capital also provide useful reference policy formulation optimize promote sustainable development.
